I think it's more accurate to say Ivermectin works _as_ an anti-parasitic which was already known. The WHO does, in fact, recommend its use on covid patients who are at high risk for parasitic infection due to geography and steroid use. This is almost exclusively going to be in poor and tropical regions.

- jiggawatts 5y agoThis is precisely the point. It works! Against parasites! That won't save your from COVID itself, but some people have looked at the statistical benefits across all populations and extrapolated from there to claim that it is a wunder-drug that eliminates any requirement for vaccination.
